I’ve been using this recipe since 2016. It is so very tried, tasted and tested; whenever I make it my Dad comes looking for a fresh batch, he is after all our resident Cookie Monster. Initially it took time getting used to baking it for such a less amount of time, now this can be baked in a preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes. Do not bake it longer than 10 minutes, it becomes crispy after it cools down and dries up.
The steps are somewhat easy, it would be even quicker if you used a stand mixer or a food processor. Take a look at the steps below and as always video is soon to follow!
This is a recipe that uses whole wheat and very little maida. It yields at least 50 cookies, more if you are adventurous! The video recipe will have two versions, one thick and chewy and the other thin and crispy. Do take a look as always like, share and subscribe.

Instructions
Steps to make the chocolate chip cookie
- Pre heat your oven to 180c for 20 minutes
- In a deep bowl add 1.5 cups softened room temperature butter
- Cream the butter to remove any lumps
- Add 1 cup granulated white sugar
- Add 1 cup soft light brown sugar
- Add 1 teaspoon baking soda and 2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Whip the butter and sugars until stiff speaks form
- Add 3 cups of whole wheat flour and add 2/3 cup maida or all purpose flour
- Sieve the cocoa powder in
- Knead the dough with a spatula
- Mix in semi sweet chocolate chips, I added some hazelnut as well
- Keep a cup of water aside, add 1 tablespoon at a time to create a stick dough
- You need to knead the dough by hand now
- Dough should fall down smooth, then it is done
- Butter a pan and add baking sheet on top
- Take a tablespoon as a measure and make the cookies
- Here are 2 different types, one that is thicker and chewy and 1 that is flat and crispy
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes
- The quantity of dough will easily give you around 50 cookies. Let it cool down it hardens and becomes really crispy
